Thanks to NTBM and RickRock13, I am going to be able to do a log of NTBM/RS Transderm for 8 weeks at double the dose, yes that would be 10 pumps per day for 60 days. I have my own bottle and NTBM was nice enough to donate one to me as well, should make for an awesome recomp. The plan is to start with application of all 10 pumps in the morning on chest and shoulders though I may split the dose up on weekend days and non-training days to see if there is any difference. Here is all the information on RS Transderm:
RS-Transaderm is a complete hormonal optimization formula which contains balanced levels of active bio-identical hormones and natural anti-estrogens.
These delicate active ingredients are delivered by advanced OHV topical delivery system, and carried directly to the blood stream. This unique delivery system enhances the uptake and efficiency of the active ingredients for immediate physiological benefits.
Pushing past plateaus and encouraging new muscular growth requires high levels of anabolic & androgenic hormone activity. By supplying the body with high amounts of pro-hormones (aka, hormone precursors), Transaderm dramatically increases the body's anabolic and androgenic capacity. This "hormonal edge" becomes noticeable within hours of application, fueling the body with the high-octane, adrenaline-pumping, rock-crushing power that raises performance to a new level.
What are anabolic & androgenic hormones?
Anabolic means stimulation of growth, as in muscle growth. Androgenic means stimulation of male characteristics such as libido, strength, and aggression. Testosterone is a perfect example of a hormone that possesses anabolic & androgenic properties.
Unknown to most, is the "other" naturally occurring hormones that have strong anabolic & androgenic properties - just like Testosterone. For instance, androstenediol and androstenedione both have anabolic & androgenic activity that supports muscle growth, fat loss, and muscular strength. Transaderm not only boosts testosterone, but it also boosts these other male hormones. (1,2)
What are the ingredients and how do they work?
The primary hormone in Transaderm is DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) - the precursor to all anabolic/andrognic hormones in the body. (1)
Although DHEA has been available for years, and is found in many other hormonal supplements, Transaderm offers a distinct advantage that makes it up to 20x more effective than oral based products. You see, when DHEA is delivered topically and absorbed through the skin, it is forced to convert to more anabolic/androgenic hormones. (3-11) This is because the skin is highly concentrated with steroid-converting (steroidogenic) enzymes that catalyze the conversion of DHEA to more powerful hormones, such as androstenediol, androstenedione and testosterone. (4-11) This is where Transaderm gets it's anabolic & androgenic horsepower - for increasing strength and lean muscle beyond your natural limit.
The DHEA is also converted to more powerful fat burning hormones such as 7-oxo-DHEA and 7-beta-DHEA. (5)
These are powerful thermogenic hormones that increase the rate of fat loss, helping you shed fat as you gain muscle. (12-17)
Oral DHEA products do not provide these same effects, since the digestive track lacks the same steroidogenic enzyme activity as the skin. (4)
The second hormone in Transaderm is pregnenolone. This hormone was added in a precise ratio with the DHEA to balance and control conversion to DHT (dihydrotestosterone), which may cause hair loss in men prone to androgenic alopecia. (24) Those sensitive to DHT who are concerned with hair-loss need not worry;
Transaderm won't cost you the hair-line!
Pregnenolone is also a powerful neurosteroid, which can enhance cognitive focus and memory. (21-23)
Since certain anabolic & androgenic hormones can convert to estrogen, Transaderm was fortified with an anti-estrogen complex which consists of resveratrol, 7,8 benzoflavoneand chrysin. These are natural plant based compounds that block estrogenic effects such as gyno and fat storage. (25-33) Resveratrol, 7,8 benzoflavone and chrysin have also been proven to have potent fertility stimulating properties, which can help promote increased sexual desire, erectile function and stamina. (25-33)
What sort of results should I notice with Transaderm?
Within the first couple days the following results should become noticeable -
This shift in body composition is most noticeable when proper "pre" and "post" measurements are taken. As with any muscle building product, best results are obtained when combined with high protein intake, heavy weight training and sufficient rest.
How long can I use Transaderm? Do I have to take time off?
Since Transaderm supplies the body with an outside source of hormones and causes such a significant boost in hormone levels, it can eventually suppress the body's natural hormone production. Therefore, it is recommended that Transaderm be cycled to avoid inhibition.*
We recommend using Transaderm for 4 weeks at a time, with at least 4 weeks off between each cycle. 6-8 week cycles with Transaderm are safe, however if you choose to use Transaderm for longer than 4 weeks we recommend you consider post cycle therapy (PCT) after the cycle to ensure quick and full recovery of natural testosterone production.
* Men on long-term hormone or testosterone replacement therapy (HRT/TRT) may use Transaderm indefinitely with their hormonal regimen since shutdown of natural testosterone production is generally acceptable.
Are there any side effects?
Aside from the above mentioned suppression of your body's hormone production, using Transaderm within the recommend dose is safe for men, granted there are no serious pre-existing medical conditions. The only side-effects to consider could possibly be irritability or semi-anxiety which is generally avoidable if the user is participating in vigorous physical activity on a daily basis.
Why should I choose Transaderm over other pro-hormones?
As explained earlier, Transaderm is more effective than oral DHEA supplements because it delivers DHEA through the skin. Delivering DHEA through the skin forces it to convert to more powerful anabolic & androgenic hormones, because of the enzyme activity in the skin.
Unlike other orally active pro-hormones or pro-steroids, Transaderm does not stress the liver, prostate or cholesterol levels. Transaderm will also not cause the typical side effects of lethargy or appetite suppression because of toxic effects. The hormones in Transaderm are non-toxic and naturally occurring in the human body.
Apply to shoulders and upper-back for best conversion. Only apply the product to clean, dry skin. Shaving off body hair is recommended, but not required. Also, avoid swimming, bathing or tanning for at least 6 hours after application.
Now that you know what I am taking, here is a breakdown of the 8 weeks. The first two weeks I am going to stick with a 4 day split then more than likely go into the Warrior workout or HST; I would like to continue to recomp with the aid of lean gains. That said, here is a breakdown of my daily supps as it stands now.
Fish Oil - 8-10 grams per day
GNC Mega Men Sport - 2 per day
Iron Mag Labs Flex Rx - per bottle
AI RecoverPro - as needed in AM
Anabeta - 4-6 per day, should be about 24 day run
BPS Combustion - As needed for energy in AM some days
APS Mesomorph - Workout days
CL Green Bulge - non-workout days for creatine, may cease until I finish Mesomorph
Melatonin - I take during the week at night
I know that sounds like a lot, the only non-standard items are Mesomorph and Green Bulge, I just picked those up along with Anabeta of course. So far I am liking Transderm as it dries quickly and gives almost immediate boost in mood and focus.
Looking forward to this run guys and more than likely I will get some pics of my fat a** up here since NTBM was overly generous in even considering my idea of the extended double dose.
PCT plan - Being that this is an extended period of time and double the dose, there will be some PCT required past that of anything OTC. Here is what I am thinking now, it may change as I want to sub formestane for the first time but it will depend on money when it draws nearer.
Clomid - 100/75/50/50
BPS EndoSurge - 6/day
Iron Mag Labs E-Control - per bottle (6-oxo)
OR
Formastanazol - per bottle for 30 days
